Billboard's interview with Lambert is a wide-ranging story, covering her latest album, The Weight of These Wings; why she won't get political; and her thoughts on women in country music. Although the story does not include a direct quote from Lambert about new Pistol Annies music, a paragraph discussing her 2015 Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour and her spot in the trio notes that she "promises a new Pistol Annies record in 2018."

“We’ve been missing each other a lot,” Monroe said in November of 2015, adding that a reunion is “definitely brewing.”

“We have a lot of song ideas going,” she said at the time. “I feel like it’s soon.”

Still, Monroe explains, they “never want to force it.”

“You know, Pistol Annies started out that it was just organic: Me and Miranda thought of it on a couch; she had never met Angaleena, and we called her and got started,” Monroe recalls. “… If we’re too busy, then don’t force it. There’ll be a time when things let up a little bit, then we’ll make more music.”
